In Chapter 2 we wrote our first tests and hit two bugs. Before we add more, we need the one skill everything else rests on: finding elements reliably.

Tech Companies Regret Firing Engineers for AI: The Quiet Rehiring Nobody's Talking About [2026] Klarna's CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski stood on stage in 2024 and bragged that AI had replaced 700 customer service employees. The stock market loved it. LinkedIn influencers celebrated. And then, quietly, in 2025, Klarna started hiring humans again. That single reversal tells you everything about why tech companies regret firing engineers for AI. I've watched this pattern unfold across the industry, an...
In Chapter 1 we argued that automation fails from a lack of structure, not a lack of tooling â and we met Inkwell, the dockerized app we test against. Now we install Playwright + TypeScript and write our first UI and API tests, deliberately simple. We'll also hit two real bugs along the way. I'm leaving them in on purpose â they're the exact problems the framework we build later is designed to prevent.

When we build something complexâwhether itâs a skyscraper, a gourmet meal, or a piece of softwareâwe usually start with a plan. In software development, however, itâs easy to skip that step. We often jump straight into implementation, focusing on how to write the code instead of the intent behind it. Over time, this leads to rework, confusion, and systems that don't quite match our original goals. Spec-Driven Development (SDD) is an approach that shifts the focus back to the plan. Instead of sta...

A lot of supply-chain attacks have taken place in the last year. Altough I don't think NeoVim itself has been mentioned so far, I was concerned about my setup, especially the one on my office laptop. I think this is a good opportunity to learn how to write plugins ourselves, but I also know that writing everything on my own is not ideal. At this rate, might as well write my own kernel and operating system because sudo pacman -Syu also carries supply-chain risks. What are the ways which you are d...

I built a flashcard app for interview prep and wanted to share some of the more interesting technical problems I ran into. The app has 1500+ questions across DSA and System Design, and the core challenge was: how do you order cards intelligently without it feeling robotic?

That works for vocabulary but feels terrible for algorithms because you get 3 Hard questions in a row and want to ...

It's been a long time since Gears of War creator and original designer Cliff Bleszinski was guiding the franchise, but he eagerly watched the premiere of new footage of the latest game, Gears of War: E-Day, during the Xbox Games Showcase. And like a proud father, Bleszinski shared his enthusiastic response to what he saw. "Loved the struggle with that one Locust, but it's weird how the other ones (not the 'naked' ones) went down so easy," wrote Bleszinski on X. "The tough one didn't seem to be d...
Trying to distill End of Abyss to a single sentence is difficult. I can call it a Metroid Prime-like, but it's also a survival-horror game with a sprinkle of Dead Space, but then I'd be remiss to not mention the souls-like influence too. Yes, it can be reductive to narrow a game down to its influences, but it's a testament to what makes End of Abyss interesting: its ability to execute on so many different elements so well, making it one of my most-anticipated games from 2026's Summer Game Fest. ...
Today's Xbox Games Showcase was the first under the leadership of Xbox CEO Asha Sharma, who has pledged to consider making changes to Xbox's exclusivity strategy. Now, another Xbox executive, chief content officer Matt Booty, has clarified Microsoft's position on exclusives going forward. He told Gamertag Radio, "Our big multiplayer games [and] live-service games are going to continue to be multiplatform." "We want people to have a reason to get on board with Xbox," he added. "We want them to ha...
While its influences are clear, End of Abyss is laying the foundation for one of my most anticipated games of the year.
The announcement of a new Spyro the Dragon game in more than two decades during the Xbox Game Showcase is aiming high with the confirmation that it will feature "true dragon flight" gameplay for the first time. Speaking of the challenge of introducing this mechanic to the dragon's core kit in an interview with GameSpot, the developers at Toys For Bob hint that it's unlike anything from any other game. "One of the big challenges was that, as we were thinking about what other games even broach thi...
The 20-minute gameplay reveal for God of War Laufey puts a lot of focus on protagonist Faye's new sword. And while we don't yet know what the sword is called or where it originally came from, I've already got so many questions about the blade. Most pressing, I want to know how Faye's new weapon will act as a thematic mirror for her, much as the Blades of Chaos and the Leviathan Axe acted as narrative reflections for Faye's husband, Kratos. If I had to guess, I think Faye's new sword is a reflect...
Marathon is burdened with the past. Its twin namesakes, the titular colony ship and the trilogy of classic boomer shooters for the Apple Macintosh, are both corpses plundered for new life. The protagonists of this new, rebooted game are scavengers, quite literally picking over the bones of what came before. This fact has colored the reception of Marathon from its very first announcement. The fact that Marathon was set to be a pure live-service game, with no single-player component, was a blow to...
Microsoft and Playground Games have announced the preorder bonuses for the Fable reboot, and wouldn't you know it, one of the perks is a chicken suit. For anyone just catching up, the Fable franchise is basically obsessed wth chickens, so it's fitting that one of the preorder perks is a chicken suit. The "legendary" costume includes a beak, feathers, and "questionable dignity," according to the item's official description. In addition to the chicken suit, people who preorder Fable get the Wild F...
During the Gears of War: E-Day Direct, which took place after a packed Xbox Showcase at Summer Game Fest, we got a good look at some of the big changes The Coalition is bringing to the Gears of War formula established nearly two decades ago. In short: Marcus can jump. Gears of War has been defined by its big, brutish protagonists who look and walk like tanks. It was the series that helped define waist-high cover when cover-based shooters were taking off, and hasn't really strayed much from that....
